Rclone and AT&T Router Not Playing Nice

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I don't actually think this is a problem with Rclone, just hoping someone here has experienced the same and has an idea how to fix it.

Connecting to a remote box via SFTP. Remote router port forwards 11111 to 22.

Generally everything works as expected, the problem comes when I try and cancel a transfer in the middle of an operation. From that point on I get connection errors until whatever is holding things up clears itself out and I can connect again. I haven't done an accurate timing of the release, but it seems to be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. I think this is a router setting, but I haven't been able to figure out which one. Router is an AT&T BGW320-500

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

hi,
that is an old version of rclone, should test using the latest.
